<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The final book in the acclaimed memoir series--the basis for the acclaimed PBS series: an enduring work of literary nonfiction that combines a heartwarming coming-of-age story and a startling look at women's lives in the poorest section of postwar London.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The last book in the trilogy begun by Jennifer Worth's <em>New York Times</em> bestseller and the basis for the PBS series <em>Call the Midwife</em></p><p>When twenty-two-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the poorest section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives, she also became the neighborhood's most vivid chronicler. <em>Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End</em> is the last book in Worth's memoir trilogy, which the <em>Times Literary Supplement</em> described as "powerful stories with sweet charm and controlled outrage" in the face of dire circumstances.</p><p>Here, at last, is the full story of Chummy's delightful courtship and wedding. We also meet Megan'mave, identical twins who share a browbeaten husband, and return to Sister Monica Joan, who is in top eccentric form. As in Worth's first two books, <em>Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times</em> and <em>Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse</em>, the vividly portrayed denizens of a postwar East End contend with the trials of extreme poverty--unsanitary conditions, hunger, and disease--and find surprising ways to thrive in their tightly knit community.</p><p>A rich portrait of a bygone era of comradeship and midwifery populated by unforgettable characters, <em>Call the Midwife: Farewell to the East End</em> will appeal to readers of Frank McCourt, Katherine Boo, and James Herriot, as well as to the fans of the acclaimed PBS show based on the trilogy.</p>
